Adam Smith already pointed out that a trade deficit is not really interesting, so I do not understand the American obsession about it ;)
Also, the often-mentioned US-EU trade deficit is not that big if you count in services. Which I think should be done in the 21st century. Large parts of the US economy are focused on digital high-value services, and they are "exported" worldwide.
